If necessary, conduct additional searches for other newly-installed applications, including: FactoryTalk Services Platform RSLinx Enterprise RSLinx Classic Activate the FactoryTalk View software For continuous use of FactoryTalk View Machine Edition and other Rockwell Automation products, computers running the software must have access to activation files. Activation is not required for PanelView Plus 7, Rockwell Automation Publication - VIEWME-IN003L-EN-E - July 2015 39 Chapter 2 Install, activate, and uninstall FactoryTalk View on a personal computer PanelView Plus 6, PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus Compact, and PanelView Plus CE terminals. To manage and provide activations for FactoryTalk View software components, use the FactoryTalk Activation Manager software installed with FactoryTalk View. About FactoryTalk Activation FactoryTalk Activation provides a secure, software-based system for activating Rockwell Automation products and managing software activation files. With FactoryTalk Activation, there is no need for a physical master disk or any physical media; instead, activation files are generated and distributed electronically. FactoryTalk View products use two types of activations: Floating concurrent activations are checked out of an activation server located on the network, and require a continuous network connection. Borrowed concurrent activations are time-expiring activations checked out of an activation server on the network, and do not require a continuous network connection. Note: To learn about the types of activation that other Rockwell Automation products can use, see the FactoryTalk View Activation Manager product documentation or contact your local Rockwell Automation Sales office. What happens if FactoryTalk View is not activated If the FactoryTalk View components you have installed cannot be activated, for example, because the activation server is unavailable or because borrowed activations have expired, then the software will continue to run for up to seven days on personal computers. The seven-day grace period allows time to correct the problem with acquiring activations without disrupting critical applications. If activation is restored within seven days, normal operations will resume. If activation is not restored, the grace period will expire. After the grace period expires, if you restart FactoryTalk View ME and activation remains unavailable, the software will run in demo mode. Demo mode allows only two hours of use and no more than five displays, including three default displays. 40 Rockwell Automation Publication - VIEWME-IN003L-EN-E - July 2015 Install, activate, and uninstall FactoryTalk View on a personal computer Chapter 2 Borrow activations for development computers If it is not convenient for a development computer to remain connected to the network where the activation server resides, you can connect to the activation server temporarily, borrow a concurrent activation for a limited amount of time, and then disconnect. When the time-limited activation expires, its associated software is no longer activated, and the activation automatically becomes available again from the server's activation pool. Only the FactoryTalk View Studio activation keys can be borrowed. While developing applications while disconnected from the network, the FactoryTalk View Studio activation key is shared by any test clients and HMI servers in your application, allowing all necessary components to run for development purposes. Note: To use borrowed activations, you must upgrade to FactoryTalk Activation Manager version 3.30 or later (included on any FactoryTalk installation DVD) on all server and client computers where the borrowed activations will be used. Activation keys for FactoryTalk View software components The activation files you download from the Rockwell Automation Activation Website contain the activation keys you purchased, in encrypted form. The activation key is the software that activates FactoryTalk View components. Different keys are required for different components. For example, FactoryTalk View ME Station use ME Station activation keys. Following is a list of activation keys used by the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition products. Note: For information about the keys required to activate other Rockwell Automation products in your application, see the product documentation. To activate this software product or component Use this key FactoryTalk View Studio for Machine Edition applications only RSVME.STUDIO FactoryTalk View ME Station 500 displays RSVME.500 FactoryTalk View ME Station (local applications), 250 displays RSVME.250 FactoryTalk View ME Station, 75 displays RSVME.RUN FactoryTalk View ME Station, 25 displays RSVME.30 FactoryTalk View ME Station 15 displays RSVME.15 Rockwell Automation Publication - VIEWME-IN003L-EN-E - July 2015 41 Chapter 2 Install, activate, and uninstall FactoryTalk View on a personal computer Share keys among multiple software components Multiple instances of FactoryTalk View Studio running on the same computer can use a single key (RSV.STUDIO), as long as the components are not running in a Terminal Services session.
